What is multiple myeloma? | Hematologic System Diseases | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

[@buuny001]

These videos are amazing, I'm studying medicine and they help me so much. I wanna show my friends these videos but I live in a Spanish speaking country, so it'd be hard for them to understand. I don't know if this sounds too crazy but you guys should put subtitles, not just Spanish, I'm sure many people would benefit from this. Anyway great video.

This video was wonderfully put together. It broke down Multiple Myeloma so that it was easily understood. This is the first video of this type that I have seen from Khanacademymedicine and I am subscribing to the channel and hope to watch more of your videos. keep up the great work.

[@reychill91]

Khan Academy thank you so much, if only we were thought to think when we learn medicine in our own school instead of just memorizing the facts...thank you again, appreciate it so much...I can understand and remember forever...

[@sirius8619]

A minor correction, I belive thirst is primarily caused by the hipercalcemia, which causes a secondary nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with polyuria and, consequently, thirst. Great videos!

[@gagan.dee.p]

This is the best video on Multiple Myeloma so far.

[@yudivazquez1296]

Thank you for this! As a new Hem/Onc nurse, these videos are helpful!

I just found out that my wife has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma's on her head so this information she will be starting her chemotherapy so I'll be sharing your video with our friends who have been driving me crazy with questions about the Multiple Myeloma so now I can just send them all your great information.🏥💉💊

[@rnm161052]

I am 65 years old and my MM was detected on September 2016.Useful information.I had gathered this information from multiple myeloma research foundation.in my case the autologous stem cell transplant did last for 60 days only. I have multiple bone lyric lesions with 9 fractured vertebrae and three fractured ribs. Undergoing Maintenance Bortezomib chemotherapy every 14 days since past 10 months.Cytogenetic FISH report and bone biopsy shows VGPR.I have 3 clinal damages t(4,14),1q amplification and hyper diploids. Three fellow MM patients in age groups of 53,59 & 66 years died in last 3months two years after autologous stem cell transplant. May beI am next in line as my stem transplant was done 18 months ago.

Great video, except the end where it suggest Curative therapy using BMT. BMT is not curative. It may put a patient into remission for a few months or even a few years (lasted 10 months for me) but as of yet there is not cure for Multiple Myeloma.

I think - paraprotein production leading to acute kidney injury. Thirst follows polyuria induced by hypercalcaemia (through osmotic effect and ADH desensitisation). Thirst isn't a feature necessarily of AKI.

I have Multiple Myeloma. I've had a difficult time explaining this disease to my family and friends in an easy to understand format. I'm passing this video on to them. Thank you for making this for us. I follow my blood labs closely but I don't understand all of the workings of each item listed. Do I need to understand all the data? I follow my kidney function and my blood cells and platelets and IgG and IgA, etc., how should I keep tracking the progress of my diseases?

The best way is to consult your doctor.

Feeling sorry for u....take care dear poor soul

[@mfmlmme4283]

Depends on which form you have. I'd add the Free Light Chains to your check and monoclonal pics if pertinent to your personal diagnosis. I also recommend talking with your doctor about understanding the meaning of the results. I do realize that the message is a year old so I hope you are well. Sending good vibes your way.

I've a question; "HOW CAN WE PREVENT OURSELVES FROM THIS THIS DISEASE BEING HAPPEN" like to secure the plasma cells from being malignant

[@samikshabhomle8975]

Great Video Sir. A deeper understanding of the disease is important. And then consulting a doctor about the same. I knew one of the best hematologists in India. His name is Dr. S. K. Gupta. You can consult him for treatment or for a second opinion also. He does video consultations too if you can't visit his hospital.

[@SuperioMan3432]

Hypercalemia in the blood would cause the bone to be fragile because of more calcium in the blood from the bones.

[@alisaliu]

lytic lesions from multiple myeloma wouldn't show up on a bone scan --you'd want to do a skeletal survey instead, which is x-rays of the whole body. that'll show the lytic lesions.

[@ghaidassweetdream8180]

You'd see dark spots on an X ray or a CT that are indicative of lyric lesions (lysis performed by osteoclasts)

[@sharathsteny390]

True.. the less dense the bone is.. the darker the spot in an xray

[@80sfreak42]

Wow I have had back pain for a year now and will ask my doctor to check me for this using the method you menyioned... thanks Alisa Liu.

why this disease is called Multiple myloma, although this is a disease of plasma cell which is derive from B-lymphocytes.

[@anitapalmer4049]

yogesh dwivedi Because one has multiple areas that show up on X-rays!!! I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma when I was 47, I had those little lesions from the top of my head all the way down to my mid thighs! Plus, I had a significant boney tumor that had actually displaced my spinal cord!!! Obviously they didn’t even want me moving around in bed too much.... I told them, you would have been crapping your pants if you would have seen what I was doing at the coast yesterday!!! Hahahaha
